Audit & Accounts Senior

Audit & Accounts Senior – Oxford | £45,000 – £53,000 Introduction
This is a standout opportunity to join one of Oxford’s most reputable independent firms, offering a professional yet down-to-earth culture, a diverse client portfolio, and genuine room for progression. As an Audit & Accounts Senior, you’ll take ownership of key assignments, lead client engagements, and play a pivotal role in maintaining the firm’s high standards of service and technical excellence.

About the Role
You’ll work closely with managers and partners to deliver a mix of audit and accounting services to a wide range of clients — from growing SMEs and family-owned businesses to larger corporates and charities. The role combines autonomy with collaboration and is ideal for someone seeking variety, responsibility and the next step in their career.

Key Responsibilities:

• Leading audits from planning through to completion and finalisation
• Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts under UK GAAP
• Managing and mentoring junior staff during audit fieldwork and accounts preparation
• Acting as a key client contact, building long-term, trusted relationships
• Identifying opportunities to add value through systems improvements and process insights
• Working with partners to ensure technical accuracy and timely delivery

What You’ll Bring

• ACA or ACCA qualified (or equivalent), with solid experience in practice
• Proven audit and accounts background, ideally within a mixed client portfolio
• Up-to-date technical knowledge of UK GAAP and auditing standards
• Excellent communication and organisational skills
• Confident working directly with clients and leading small teams
• A proactive and professional approach, with a genuine interest in client success

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Well-established Oxford firm with a reputation for quality and integrity
• Balanced exposure to both audit and accounts — ideal for those seeking variety
• Clear progression opportunities within a supportive, ambitious team
• Competitive salary of £45,000 – £53,000, reflecting experience and responsibility
• Modern Oxford offices with excellent transport links
• Continuous professional development and mentoring support
